Recruiting Talent in the Heart of EU Politics

Hanson Search’s Brussels function has been supporting the region for over a decade, placing mid to senior professionals across PR, communications, public affairs, government relations, policy and marketing roles. Working with multinational corporates, high-growth FinTech businesses, agencies and NGOs, we have developed a trusted network of the finest industry professionals in Brussels.

Brussels has a rich and diverse culture, with a multitude of European nationalities, skills, experiences and industry backgrounds, which can bring its own set of unique challenges to finding talent. Our experience of the Brussels landscape, coupled with our industry knowledge in recruiting into highly regulated markets such as healthcare, technology, financial services, energy, transport and sustainability, means we can support both businesses and agencies looking to grow their teams in this region.

Executive Search and Recruitment in Brussels

Our European search team comes from a range of industry and European backgrounds, giving us an unrivalled insight into cultural nuances and industry specialisms, the latest market trends and where the best emerging talent is. This means we are expertly placed to find you the very best skillset to fit your organisation’s culture and requirements and give you a competitive edge.

We take a proactive approach to recruitment and have placed some of the finest candidates in roles ranging from Head of Public Affairs, Director of Government Relations, European Corporate Affairs Director, Head of Communications, PR Manager, Policy Director, Regulatory Advisor, Digital Marketing Manager, Campaign Director and CMO.

As trusted advisors to our clients, we run webinars and events aimed at both in-house and agency markets. We have organised panel discussions with market experts on the evolution of public affairs from an EU perspective and, more recently, on the future of the EU post-Brexit. Our EU Public Affairs lead Barbara Ozanon was invited to speak at the Public Affairs Council during a webinar on adapting skills to the future of the public affairs job market.
